Macaroni and Cheese (Stove Top)

For the past five meals, my daughter had requested mac and cheese.  I didn't have any box mixes on hand, but after her persistence, I decided to try it from scratch.  I got this recipe from http://www.food.com/recipe/easy-stove-top-macaroni-cheese-60350.  My kids really liked it.  Because I don't eat cheese, I can't really add an adult opinion on taste (Brett was at school so didn't have dinner with us).  I can say, though, that it was incredibly easy, and it looked smooth and creamy.  So, without further ado, here it is:

8 ounces elbow macaroni
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 dash black pepper
2 cups milk
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or 8 ounces cheddar cheese

Directions:

1      Cook macaroni according to package directions.

2     In medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; stir in flour, salt and pepper; slowly add milk.

3     Cook and stir until bubbly.

4     Stir in cheese until melted.

5     Drain macaroni; add to cheese sauce; stir to coat.
